Group Animation

Here is an animation that me and 3 other people worked together in our lesson time:









I don't think this animation worked as well as we planned for a number of reasons.  Firstly, the camera kept on moving giving the jumpy movement of the page.  This could have been prevented if we used a tripod to mount the camera onto.
  Another problem that we only noticed until after we had finished shooting was that the lighting changes from one picture to another.  This may have been because the camera used flash for some photos and not for others or it could have been because the natural lighting in the room changed.  To fix this problem, we should have either left the flash on all the time or turned it of and use a room with controlled lighting (eg.  block out natural light and use artificial lights when shooting the photos)
    It was also very quick even though it didn't have a very high number of frames per second.  It didn't have a very well planned out story line and I think we should have prepared the story more thoroughly to make the content of the animation more interesting to watch.  We could have increased the number of photos we took and given it a higher number of frames per second so that it ran much smoother and wasn't so jumpy.
